Week 2 (holiday, Wed. Frid.)
Hello,
Today is Friday. I am available online today between 9-9:50, 10-10:50 and 11-11:50. Here is yuor GoogleMeet code (same for all Fridays this semester).
For Monday, please review the two slide sets posted last week. We focus on classical rhetorical skills for modern people:
- logos
- pathos
- ethos
- audience
- context
- purpose
Our memonic is the power of three! And the visual of the equalaterial triangle.
On Monday, we turn to our first genre to write with: the memo. Our content concerns rain gardens. More on that next week. Note: you do not need to be an expert to write this memo!
Welcome to ENGL390H, fall 2022
This space is our primary text for the class. You could look at the class journal in reverse order to see how the class works. Once the computer is fixed in Tawes 0224, I will take you on a tour.
You could consider these three files as prep for next week.
- Guide to reading for Science Writing students (Short Google doc)
- Audience analysis slides based on Aristotle: Set 1 (15 Google slides)
- Audience analysis slides based on Relationships: Set 2 (12 Google slides)
Do not forget that we have Monday off for Labor Day. If you want more guidance on how this class works, you can look at this "helper" link to useful web sources I gathered for you. We really do not need a text as the world is truly available to us!
Look closer: is something odd about this animation?

Hello, this very rainy Friday. I will be in Office Hours in the Sky, as per usual on Fridays: 9-9:5-, 10-10:50, 11-11:50.
What train are you on? Please get on board. I am waiting to open up Train 2 (UPDATED link to your Writing Task) for peer collaboration but I need more participation for this to be meaningful.
UPDATED for Train 1: the 99% done/final check draft in Eil Review, due tonight. Peer collaboration due by Monday.
Then, I open up a Train Station 1 for final document parking.
Next week, after Wednesday, I will open up Train Station 2 for final document parking.
See you Monday for our last day.

Hello. Here is an update on TRAIN schedules.
TRAIN 1: You can now go to the Eli Review task to give/receive last chance feedback before you turn in your final version for a grade. HOWEVER, many TRAIN 1 riders have still to complete the uploading of the 99% draft. That link is here. PLEASE DO YOUR TRAIN 1 TASKS now, to help each other move forward.
TRAIN 2: HELLOOOOOO. Please post your 95% done document here so that you can enter review/feedback process. WATCH THIS SPACE because I will post on Thursday, the review option even if the numbers stay low.
I implore you to enter these spaces, so that you can earn labor grades and help each other propel thinking and writing forward.
UPDATE (1PM) and modification for those who want this. Just scratch the stats paragraph if that is messing with your ability to move forward. I have six emails now, with some bit of panic about this portion of the writing task of Assignment 3. Recall, though, that I said I WOULD NOT GRADE THIS. In honor of this request, UMD Archives just posted this on my Twitter feed. Is a genius pig who takes statistics tests. Made me laugh and think of those of you stressing over this (and more) now.
FRIDAY: Catch up week
Hello,
I do not see that many people were able to use this time to catch up. We are still waiting on many people in Eli Review Tasks.
So, here is what you should do by the end of the weekend. Your work flow (TRAIN 1 or TRAIN 2) depends on how behind you are. For those who have not uploaded Assignment 2, the Coffee Cup memo, for a grade. PLEASE DO THAT ASAP. You will likely be on TRAIN 2 for the last assignment.
For those who have not participated in the most recent round of Eli Review on Assignment 3, the one-article review, PLEASE DO THAT ASAP. This requires that you
- Complete this Assignment 3 draft Eli Review Writing Task BEFORE YOU THEN give/receive feedback-->
- Complete this Assignment 3 draft Eil Review Review Task.
I am starting the differiented class time table now. TRAIN 1 assumes that you are DONE with Coffee Cup and ready to move on wrapping up your one-article review. Two types of people can board TRAIN 1:
- Are you all caught up on Assignment 3 writing and reviewing tasks? If so, then you can post on Friday's Eli Review Writing Task that assumes about a 95% done review. You can ask for feedback. You will give Freedback by Monday evening (I have not opened this yet).
- Do you plan to be really caught up on Assignment 3 by Saturday at midnight? See steps 1 and 2 above. If so, then you can board TRAIN 1 and upload a 95% done article review, this weekend. And, plan to respond to others by Monday evening.
TRAIN 1: Tonight, please post a 95% done version in Eli Review here.
For TRAIN 2, your mission is to CATCH UP. I will give you a TRAIN 2 schedule next week for, first, your 95% done work and then on to the last check before turning in for a grade. Catch up.
